National Novelty Brush Co

Light machinery running, clicking, clacking.

Recorded using the Microtrack with the "T" mic on a pole. 24 bit, 44.1 KHz, stereo. This was from the window of a car parked outside the eastern-most window of the factory. The sound from this machine was very localised- if I moved a foot to the left or right the volume dropped off dramatically. At this center spot you can hear very well the character of the machinery- it sounds like well-oiled, precision steel parts moving. The effect of localization may be caused by plastic or sheet-metal safety shields which are placed around some machines. They would block sound effectively. There are some voices toward the end.

Exactly what I was looking for to recreate a WW1 war factory background ambiance.

Thanks you
